Chapter 158: Alone (2)
When Qiao Liang realized this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was only now that he finally understood why there were people in the world who were not afraid of death but would be afraid of certain things, such as Wang Yao, so strong and highly trained people would go crazy because of the pressure brought by the darkness of the abyss underground, let alone a high school boy like him?
What is truly frightening is not death, but the mental torture of not knowing how long you will live in pain before you die!
However, since he did not fall into the hole, the psychological threat of terror disappeared. Thinking of this, Qiao Liang's body relaxed slightly. But he immediately tensed. He suddenly remembered something important:
The problem of life safety has been solved, and he has successfully completed the most basic conditions of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but the next problem will also follow——————
He can't see anything now!
Qiao Liang fell into a panic again, he sat up from the concrete floor, trying to open his eyes and raise his hands to scratch aimlessly. After a few seconds, however, he stopped. Of course, he wasn't trying to calm down and think carefully about his current situation, nor was it because he had completely given up hope. So what caused him to calm down?
Let's look at Qiao Liang, at this time he is hunched over his chest with his hands clenched in front of his chest, his expression is distorted, and he seems to be enduring great pain.
What happened to him?
It turned out that just a few seconds ago, Qiao Liang didn't estimate the location and space he was in when he waved his hands, and then after hearing a crisp sound of "dang", the tingling sensation like electricity in his hand quickly spread to his brain, making him have to bend down and keep breathing at the sore spot.
After the pain eased a little, Qiao Liang could finally function his brain normally. He couldn't help but sigh, and said in his heart that although it hurt a little, it was better than what happened to him before, I don't know how many times. What's more, such a pain actually made him no longer panic, and in a flash, he analyzed his current situation as much as possible:
The first question is, why can't I see things anymore?
No, no, now is not the time to think about that! Qiao Liang shook his head, I don't even know what my situation is now, where am I now? Is it safe? I don't know anything, how can I think about my vision first?
But if that happens, who has the heart to prioritize other issues?
Qiao Liang's thoughts paused, and he suddenly sighed in frustration.
Alas. I can't see it anymore. I can't see anything now! Damn, how could I not see things? I can't see anything, how do I know what I'm in now, where can I flee if I'm in danger?
…… Now, I'm really a wreck. Even if there is no danger, will you have to endure the darkness in front of you for the rest of your life?
It's pitch black in front of you, and you can't see anything?!
Isn't this the situation Wang Yao was in at that time!
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang suddenly shivered. He knew that he would never forget what happened to the policeman named Wang Yao after he jumped from the mouth of the abyssal cave, it was a deep shadow, so deep that he might remember Wang Yao's screams when he saw a dark corner. He had wondered if he would have nightmares for the rest of his life, after all, these things were so weird. But he was also very fortunate that he didn't put on the equipment to save Wang Yao at that time, otherwise it is unknown whether he would be alive.
However, the sense of luck for the rest of his life after the catastrophe didn't stay in Qiao Liang's mind for long, but he suddenly couldn't see anything. He suddenly looked like the protagonist in a tragic story, and suddenly had a sad feeling in his heart that he couldn't escape the shackles of fate in the end:
Curse! This must be a curse! He will never become blind for no reason, it must be Wang Yao, that person died in the dark abyss, so he is unwilling to be too resentful and become a demon to curse himself, even if he lives in the world, he will fall into eternal darkness forever, no matter where he escapes, the darkness will accompany him for a lifetime, never give up!
…… Then, just don't run away.
Thinking like this, Qiao Liang felt the pain and guilt, anger, shame, and hatred in his heart gradually merged, and finally turned into helpless resignation. He went limp, lying on the concrete floor.
…… Don't run away. Anyway, it's already like this, if the rest of your life is imprisoned in this darkness in front of you, it's better to die. He Qiao Liang is such a perfect person, so he doesn't want to live as a disabled person who is ridiculed!
While Qiao Liang was lying motionless on the ground on all fours, he gradually felt a bright warmth caressing his body. In his chaotic thoughts, a sentence suddenly popped up for no reason:
It's so warm, this comfortable feeling is the sun, and it should be afternoon now, so the strong sunlight shines through the window and spreads on his body.
…… Well?
Qiao Liang frowned.
It seems like...... What's wrong?
Qiao Liang was stunned. He didn't understand why he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. The confusion grew deeper and deeper in his mind, and at last he could no longer lie down, so he sat up decisively, letting the warm sun shine on his back.
…… Still something is wrong.
Damn it! What the hell is wrong!
Qiao Liang slapped his head with both hands irritably, and after a few heavy blows, his movements suddenly froze in the air like the video had been paused.
A minute later, he was still sitting on the ground with a blank expression, his upper body turning slightly, and his face turned in the direction of the sun's rays, allowing the slightly hot heat to creep up his features.
At this moment, Qiao Liang's body suddenly trembled, and his ass jumped up from the spot with all his strength.
He finally remembered why he felt something was wrong!
Sunlight! It's sunshine!
Qiao Liang was so happy that he was about to go crazy, and for a moment he completely forgot that he didn't know where he was, so he ran in place. Of course, the end result of this behavior was that his forehead hit some hard strip of solid, and he fell back to the ground in a daze.
But this time, Qiao Liang, who was lying on the ground, was smiling and breathless. He was happy, of course he was happy! Because he's not blind! Just now, he saw the dazzling sunlight from the sun through the thin eyelids covering his eyeballs, and he realized that he had not lost his vision at all!
